Madikeri :

The annual Theerthodbhava will occur at the holy pond at Talacauvery, the birth place of Goddess Cauvery, at 6.07 pm on Oct. 17.

This decision was taken at an official meeting held at the Town’s Fort here yesterday.

Kodagu District in-charge Minister K.J. George, who presided over the meeting, directed the officials to conduct the Theerthodbhava in an organised manner.

When DySP Prasanna V. Raju brought to the attention of the Minister the landslides that have been occurring on Bhagamandala-Talacauvery road on account of incessant rains, the Minister instructed the officials to clear the road of rocks and earth.

As a precautionary measure, the meeting decided to allow only government buses and light commercial vehicles from Bhagamandala to Talacauvery on that day.

The Minister also directed to ensure appropriate lighting and other arrangements in place at Bhagamandala and Talacauvery during the Theerthodbhava.
